As we all know our wonderful
unpredictable Michigan winter is just around the corner! We all need to prepare
our cars and make sure they are ready for that sleek, snowy, windy, harsh
winter. Here are a few things to check up and prepare:
· Make sure your tires have good traction on the road. Also,
check the tire pressure.
· Turn on your heater make sure it’s working, if not BRING IT
IN!!!! It would be awful once it gets really cold and it won’t work when you
want it too.
· Check the engine coolant, if it needs to be flushed.
Otherwise, if the coolant is not good for lower temperatures it’s going to
freeze inside the engine. It will blow the engine!
· Check the battery voltage, and AMPs. Cold harsh weather will
reduce the capability of the battery. When you need to start your engine it
won't if it's not good.
· Check all of your oil levels, and the condition of the oil
for:
oEngine oil
oTransmission oil
oPower steering fluid
oBrake fluid
· Check your windshield wipers and washer solvent.
